Save the date: Next #ISLE Online Forum on "World Englishes in Education: Diversity, Discrimination, and Pedagogy" with Michelle Devereaux, Sender Dovchin & Marcus Callies, December 9, 2-3pm CET. Open to all! Zoom link at: www.isle-linguistics.org/activities/o... #EnglishLinguistics
Flyer with pictures of the speakers and a description text:
This ISLE Online Forum will explore how insights from World Englishes can inform more inclusive and context-sensitive approaches to English language education. Three brief expert talks will address different dimensions of this topic. The talks will be followed by a discussion on future directions for research and teaching at the intersection of World Englishes and language education.
•	How are varieties of English represented in curricula and teaching materials?
•	How do attitudes toward different Englishes shape inclusion, equity, and linguistic discrimination in the classroom?
•	To what extent has the World Englishes paradigm reshaped everyday classroom practice, rather than remaining a debate within academia?
•	To what extent are distinctions such as “native/nonnative” and “second/foreign language” useful in teaching contexts?

Starting work at a new place is very exciting, but it can also be overwhelming and lonely. Just a reminder to offer some kindness to any new colleagues who might have joined you in October 📆

I'm more of a savory person, but I did think this morning I should really try the local Franzbrötchen to see if they live up to expectations 😅
